Rooney is still a quality player. Plenty of players to be sold in squad before Rooney would even be considered

Is that on sky sports too ...

The worst game of his career.

Rooney has always been a streaky player imo, problem is his bad streaks last longer and the good ones end quicker

It's a law if diminishing returns with him now
Square peg in a team of round holes

No longer good enough in any position than what we already have or what's coming in...

Whatever about rooney but Harry kane has been dirt for them all tournament. Fair chance he could have a quiet season.

Rooney off for Rashford.

How it should always be. Amen

Absolutely!

Oh dear, think I will switch off Talksport and Five Live for a while!

Rooney rubbish in midfield? The wrong choice playing him there? You don't say!!! :pac:

No shock at all to some of us, hopefully this time it gets remembered and this rubbish will stop rearing its head every six months.

On another note, how big of a joke is Hodgson? I said before the tournament that Rashford should not be going, mainly because Hodgson was long enough in the job that he should already have known his team and a good run of 10/12 games from any player should not have been a big factor. But its clear that he actually had no clue what his team was supposed to be, and to see him squeezing every popular striker into the team is just hilarious.

Harry Kane's value just dropped 30m after that tournament, shocking every game and brutal tonight

I really hope Jose doesnt pander to Rooney like LVG and Moyes have.

He's just not good enough in CM and we have better strikers than him, just drop him to the bench

Jose will not play Rooney as a CM

Rashford should have been on a lot earlier, was excellent when he came on

raze_them_all_

Rashford and Vardy were the only two showing and passion and pride in the second half

Rayne Wooney

I think Mourinho will rotate Rooney and Ibra up top with 3 of Martial, Mata, Mikki, Rashford, Ander in behind.

After that I think we are still light in CM, should be next priority for Woody

His corner in injury time didn't even beat the first man.

Rashford dribbled passed 3 players, no other player managed that....

Rashers looked more dangerous on the touchline warming up then any of the players on the pitch.

I thought his corner went to an English player that didn't control it.

wtf was he doing taking a corner in the first place is more the question.

did he actually take the corner though? i dont remember. if he did my point above stands.

IamtheWalrus

I'd like to see Rooney gone as part of a clearout. He represents the tired old Utd.

Unfortunately, I fear Jose likes him.

He was taking it because he was closest to the ball and they were doing their best effort at throwing the kitchen sink at it. He wasn't waiting for the designated corner taker to stroll over.

The Wayne Rooney experiment is absolutely dead.

I'm not accepting him in our midfield for one minute of next season.

It will be a disgrace, negligence of the highest order getting Mourinho, spending loads of money on players, then playing Rooney in midfield.

He is now our 2nd of 3rd choice striker.

I'm not even English and I'm absolutely disgusted at his performance. What a hopeless captain also. No guidance, no experience. Clueless.

Goes to show just being "older" then others doesnt make you a leader.

If I was Mourinho watching that I might even be tempted to cash in from China. Rooneys United career might just have taken a sharp turn.

Actually cant believe I watched that. Has no place operating in our club midfield. None.

De Gea should be the captain for me next season. He is just an inspiration in the back and fully deserves the captaincy for me.

1000% agree

I'll add my voice to this

Rooney - square peg into round hole won't go,not our best choice in any position or guaranteed starer
Carrick - won't start every game
Mike - not a proper leader at all

Jose needs to put his stamp on this team and cast off the shackles and this very good first step

Selling Rooney could be an even bolder one and Jose would have the "cahoones" to do it ...

Big Dave our poty 3 years running shows how mediocre our outfield players have been...

Agree. He's been along for a good bit now and is consistently world class. An absolute beast and role model for the young lads but not sure if Jose would give him the captains armband

Should never have been in the midfield in the first place, but thats no excuse for that utterly cowardly horrific display from Rooney tonight. Probably one of the worst performances from an England player ever, and certainly the worst England defeat ever.

It is sickening he is on what 300k a week? Its really sick stuff. He is totally finished as a player.

Good thing he played in midfield for United against Everton and Palace in the FA cup, we ended up winning it.

Rooney did just enough for me tonight...







They're some bucket of shíte England, in fairness. For the players they consistently have available, they should be performing a lot better at these tournaments. Can't say I'm disappointed for them, United get their players home a bit sooner and injury-free. Also, Joe Hart LOL.

Well that obviously negates any good he's ever done. What a sh*te season for the lad, may just sell him now. That's if anybody will take him.

Ha I love how you keep mentioning how much you think he earns.
You havent called him a fraud on this thread yet. In fact they are all frauds according to you. Ive no idea why you watch a league that you seem to utterly despise.

Exactly, that is his level. Everton and CP.

The guy used to be a very good footballer, is now a decent mid table footballer.

he is not a top of the table, CL chasing forward and he certainly is not a midfielder.
